Are you looking at Drupal as your new CMS?
This presentation gives an overview of Drupal and some common use cases.
Targeted at IT managers looking to chose a new CMS or who just want to get more familiar with Drupal.
"Big Data" is a much-hyped term nowadays in Business Computing. However, the core concept of collaborative environments conducting experiments over large shared data repositories has existed for decades. In this talk, I will outline how recent advances in Cloud Computing, Big Data processing frameworks, and agile application development platforms enable Data Intensive Cloud Applications. I will provide a brief history of efforts in building scalable & adaptive run-time environments, and the role these runtime systems will play in new Cloud Applications.

"Your customer data flows faster each day, which is why collecting, organizing, and doing something meaningful with it is just good business.
But, it can be tough to do.
Stashing data in different places across your organization to come back (hopefully) later is a great way to mismanage or lose it. Squirrels can stash, but enterprises can’t.
You need a customer data platform (CDP). A central command center that securely holds your customer data and lets you organize it according to your goals.
The thing is, what’s best for you? A CDP out-of-the-box? Building a customer data solution yourself? There’s merit in both options, and this webinar is here to help you narrow down what’s best for your business. Acquia, Bounteous, and Appnovation will show you:
How a single source for customer data storage can mitigate risk and optimize customer experience
How central data governance will help your customer data strategy once the almighty Google takes away cookies
The comprehensive CDP build-or-buy checklist + CDP must-haves for your budget
First-party data management that keeps your customers' data safe and your business booming
It’s 10 PM, do you know where your data is?"
Taking Your Multi-Site Management at Scale to the Next LevelAcquia

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

What defines
success
What risks in each
phase?
How can you affect
all phases?
3Wednesday, June 12, 2013
4. This is based on...
• Case studies and real-life examples
• Shared expertise and knowledge
• Growing group of project managers in Drupal
• DrupalCon and DrupalCamp presentations
• Learning from your peers!
4Wednesday, June 12, 2013
8. Launch meeting
• Discuss contingencies for going live
• Who
• Project manager
• Developers
• Client stakeholder

9. What do you think
are the risks
in the deployment or
launch phase?
Mitigate the risks
9Wednesday, June 12, 2013
10. Testing before launch
• Testing
• Functional Testing.
• Mobile Testing
• Testing with Drupal Modules: SimpleTest
• Migration of the system to the production
servers. (mitigate with same environment)
• Detailed launch plan (cutover and rollback)
10Wednesday, June 12, 2013
11. Planning for traffic
• Load testing and goals
• Users
• Test patterns - ordering? video? sharing?
• What can your site handle?
11Wednesday, June 12, 2013
12. Neccessary planning
Cutover
Identify timeframe.
Document steps, assign
stakeholders and tasks.
Validate - test once or
twice to document
issues and timings.
Rollback
Clear tasks in case of
rollback
Test the rollback plan
Who is responsible for
each step?

19. Export to code?
• Think “Features” such as an image gallery.
• Contains: Config, content, code, files.
• What can be exported:
• Views, content types, settings, etc.
• Eliminates hazards of rebuilding on
production sites.
• Does not: Manage data export.
• Modules: Features, Strongarm, custom.

21. Environments needed
Development
Developers
collaborating and
testing.
Code should be
version controlled.
Multiple dev
environments
(local and online).
Staging/QA
Test updates from
development.
Should be exact
same environment
as production.
Sync content and
files from
production.
Production/Live
Live, stable version
of site.
Tested.
This is where users
login and add
content (usually).
21Wednesday, June 12, 2013
22. Consider
• Why is important that QA and Production
mimic each other?

25. The ***P stack
• Drupal is flexible, but most tested on...
• Linux: But works on other OSs
• Apache: But works on other servers
• MySQL: But works on other databases.
• PHP: This is a requirement.

26. Hosting considerations
Performance
How fast can this
software respond?
How long does it
take to process a
request and output
a page to the
browser?
Scalability
How fast can this
system respond?
How many
requests can the
system handle at
once?
Improvements
Optimize database
queries.
Cache (save a
processed copy) for
anonymous visitors.
Use a CDN (content
delivery network) for
files or media.

34. Easy win
• Option 1:
• Buy the right hardware, install load
balancers, setup MySQL servers in master-
slave mode, setup static file servers, setup web
servers, get PHP working with an opcode cache, tie in
a distributed memory object caching system like memcached,
integrate with a content delivery network, watch security advisories
for every component in your system and configure and tune the hell out of everything.
• Option 2:
• Choose optimized Drupal-tuned hosting.
